The stripwork jumper is a boutique
couture favorite! With a simple bib-style bodice and a skirt pieced
from vertical strips, the design possibilities are endless.A long,
flowing jumper looks beautifully old-fashioned and romantic, and is
perfect for wearing over a frilly top or peasant dress. A shorter,
top-length jumper is adorably perky and “twirly.” For a dressy set,
pair with matching ruffled pants. For a more casual look, combine with
a cute T-shirt and embellished jeans. The jumper bodice makes a great
canvas for appliqué or machine embroidery. Instructions are also
provided for making a jumper with a solid skirt. Detailed sizing
information is given so you will get a great fit and just the length
you are after. The patterns have placement guides for buttons and
buttonholes. Depending on your sewing machine and comfort level with
making buttonholes, you may prefer to use snaps or tacking.
Instructions are given for all three fastening methods. A matching doll-sized pattern is
also included as a free bonus!
